Summary

Fairhope High School is a large, top-performing public high school in Fairhope, AL, serving 1,536 students in grades 9-12 as part of the highly regarded Baldwin County school district.

Fairhope High School is an academic powerhouse. Ranked 10th out of 380 high schools in Alabama for the 2025-2026 school year, it holds a 5-star rating and has been in the state's top 20 for a decade. Its test scores are more than double the state average in math, science, and English. For example, 59% of 11th graders are proficient in math, compared to just 27% statewide. This performance also outshines nearby schools like Foley High School and Robertsdale High School, where math proficiency hovers around 26%. Fairhope also edges out its top local rivals, Spanish Fort High School (ranked 16th) and Daphne High School (ranked 19th). Notably, Fairhope achieves these results while spending less per student ($8,721) than many lower-performing schools in the region, including those in the Mobile County district, which rank in the bottom 15% of the state.

Fairhope is particularly effective with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking 23rd in the state for this group—a remarkable feat. However, the school has seen a slight dip in recent rankings for some student subgroups, including Special Education students, which fell from the 91st to the 63rd percentile. Additionally, its chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3% is higher than Spanish Fort's 7.3%, an area for potential improvement. With a strong 91% graduation rate and a track record of excellence, Fairhope remains a standout choice for families seeking a rigorous, high-achieving high school in the Baldwin County area.
